Tonight’s Saturday Night Cinema feature is “Pandemic”, a 2007 Hallmark Channel original mini-series with an ensemble cast. Not a particularly great movie but in the spirit of things …..
Armand Mastroianni, the gifted director of the legendary 1980 horror sleeper He Knows You’re Alone, returns to helm the three-hour, all-star medical miniseries Pandemic. The program explores the lethal consequences that can unfurl when a deadly plague, with an unknown cure and an even more mysterious source, worms its way through the denizens of a terror-stricken metropolis. 90210’s Tiffani-Amber Thiessen stars as Dr. Kayla Martin, an epidemiologist at the Center for Disease Control. When the news arrives of a plague victim on board a flight from Australia to LAX Airport in Los Angeles — who promptly dies amid body-racking convulsions and a record-high fever — Dr. Martin makes the pivotal decision to quarantine all passengers at LAX, sending the city, and the mayor (Eric Roberts), into an uproar. Meanwhile, the plague concurrently begins to appear in other areas of the city — suggesting a beast that no one can even begin to contain. In time, the disease becomes known as “The Riptide Virus.” As a thoughtless ACLU attorney schemes to wage war against Dr. Martin for an unlawful quarantine, Martin, her associate Carl Ratner (French Stewart), and FBI Agent Troy Whitlock (Vincent Spano) race to find a solution before time runs out. Faye Dunaway also co-stars.

Hollywood had once again created a nightmare in HD that lacked any
scientific basis. Why? Because humans can only be controlled by fear
& salvation. Those who create fear always have the salvation in their
pocket at the same time. This time compulsory vaccinations by WHO.

Already in “The Day After Tomorrow” Roland Emmerich (a homosexual German)
wanted to make the Americans afraid of a tidal wave spilling over New York. But
Greta’s “I want you to panic” was not effective. How dare you not to be scared?

Well, call me “stuck in the old Sci-Fi era,” and as corny and contrived as some of this film was, I had a ball in the middle of the night last night watching both parts (aided by a welcome tub of Orville’s best popcorn!!) and marveling at how some of the dialogue, lines and circumstances of the film – made nearly 15 years ago! – actually seemed to be ripped from today’s headlines!! They added (unnecessarily, IMHO) a “bad guy” in the film (hell, the virus was “bad guy” enough for ME!), but it was a plot device that was, obviously, not very scientific, but it did add an element of adventure to the otherwise “medical/scientific” film genre. Anyway, I enjoyed the whole hokey experience – and am grateful to Pam for posting it to her always informative (and, in this case, entertaining!) website!
